Hand-carved by artisans in Ecuador, these ornaments will look beautiful on your tree and show that you care about the world's ecology and social well-being.

Every tagua nut Christmas ornament comes with a gift tag describing its social and environmental benefits.

The Tagua Nut, commonly known as "vegetable ivory", earned its name from its ivory-like color and texture. With the near extinction of animal ivory, tagua nuts have become a highly valued commodity by artisans and consumers alike. In Ecuador, tagua is skillfully carved by artisans into figurines, keychains, Christmas ornaments, jewelry and boxes.

Rather than put mega-manufactured plastic things on your Christmas tree, we suggest displaying these beautiful "Vegetable Ivory" Tagua Nut ornaments.

These "Vegetable Ivory" ornaments are great for decorating presents, or as a special gift. Your gift recipient will think kindly of you every year when decorating their Christmas tree.
